Question compiling old c++ code

Question compiling old c++ code

[Duncan McLeod]

Hi,

I have some old c++ code that compiled under gcc-2.95.3.  However, it will 
not compile under gcc-3.2.2.

The problem is the code uses streambuf functions base() allocate() 
out_waiting() and blen().  These functions no longer exist.  Does anyone 
know if there are equivalent streambuf functions in gcc-3.2.2?

Thanks,

Duncan

It would be helpful if you would tell us what they do, or provide
    links thereof. I don't remember what they do. (I realize this may
    be hard; IIRC the 2.9x iostreams were never documented. But
    without some notion of what they do, one can only guess.)
